COMFORT PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

Cookies can be like hugs. 

1 ½ cups flour 

½ cup brown sugar 

½ tsp baking powder

¾ tsp salt 

¼ tsp baking soda 

¼ tsp cinnamon 

¼ cup slivered almonds 

1 stick butter - softened 

⅓ cup peanut butter 

2 TB honey 

1 egg + 1 egg yolk 

1 tsp almond extract 

Mix together all the dry from the flour to the slivered almonds. Add in the wet from the butter to the almond extract. Form into a dough. Scoop 1oz cookie scoops onto a parchment lined tray. Sprinkle with sugar and flake salt. I prefer not to press them down because I like the texture best when I have more cookie to bite into, but if you’re a sucker for the classic fork press on a peanut butter cookie go for it, adjust the bake time though. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 10-12 minutes until just browning on the bottom.
